The class outcomes are discussed. The main goal of the class, to provide students with the fundamental information for the exploitation of radiochemistry in research, is presented. The course grading scale and expectations are given. The Chart of the Nuclides is reviewed in detail with the front matter assigned as reading. The Table of the isotopes is introduced, with data examples presenting, include gamma decay yields. Atomic properties, nuclear nomenclature, X-rays, and types of decays are introduced. Respond to the PDF Quiz 1 when complete with the blog comment.
Lecture completed. Nice, comprehensive introduction.

DeleteI did not get your PDF quizzes. Please see Katherine for assistance, she submitted them.
I had to download the quizzes, save them to my computer, re-open them from the saved file, and then submit. All of that only worked after I ran an update on my computer and on Adobe as well. I'd suggest running an update on your Adobe reader and going from there.
DeleteLecture complete. Will we be going more in-depth with particle physics? This is something that hasn't come up in my classes before. Is there any reading you would recommend on that subject?
